Oh and, would this version of TCL support 1920x1080 resolution?

Thanks

The WiFi won’t work out of the box, so it would be easier to have a keyboard, mouse and monitor handy.

The screen resolution should be OK - I don’t have an RPi0 2W to check.

Personally I would not run the 64bit version.   The zero2W only has 512k ram, and the memory footprint of 64bit is higher.

There are several threads around here on how to add wifi to the image before booting, but you will still need a keyboard and monitor to add wifi credentials.
